Michael Avenatti is the sketchy lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels. Following a similar approach deployed by Fusion-GPS, in a rush to spread rumors and accusations Avenatti has pushed stolen documents from Treasury Department filings to his allies in the media.

The documents appear to come from frequently submitted bank filings and treasury notifications known as Currency Transaction Reports (CTR’s), and Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR’s). SAR’s and CTR’s are compliance forms filed by organizations who engage in financial services.

Every organization from mortgage providers, to international financial institutions, to local U.S. main street banks, all the way to Western Union and convenience stores who generate money orders, are required to file CTR’s and SAR’s as part of the Treasury Department Banking Secretaries Act; a law requiring anyone engaged in financial services to assist government agencies in detecting and preventing money laundering.

At some point every person reading here has likely had a report filled out by a financial provider, submitting their details within a financial transaction, filed with the Treasury department. You never know about it, because it’s part of compliance reporting.

Somehow the sketchy lawyer for Stormy Daniels obtained a list of treasury filings attached to the name Michael Cohen; the same name as President Trump’s lawyer. It is likely someone within the Treasury Department, or the DOJ with search access to the Treasury Department, leaked this list to Michael Avenatti in an effort to assist his dubious motives.

Unfortunately, at least two of the people Avenatti is now accusing of scurrilous financial transactions are not the same Michael Cohen the dubious lawyer is seeking to attack. One is a Canadian Michael Cohen, the other is an Israeli Michael Cohen; both have financial transactions in the United States. The latter just sending his brother money.

This is what happens when you put names in search engines within government records. There are always multiple people with the same name. You might remember the wrong Michael Cohen was identified in the Steele Dossier as traveling to Prague, part of a similarly intended and motivated accusation.

The previous incorrect search result on ‘Cohen travel’, contained in the Clinton-Steele Dossier, likely came from unlawful FISA-702(17) “about” queries (opposition research) and was passed along from Fusion-GPS to Steele -laundered into an intelligence product- and later passed back to the FBI via the dossier. Today’s incorrect search results likely came from a U.S. government agency with access to Treasury Department records.

The U.S. Treasury Department has now opened an internal Inspector General investigation to see if they can find out who accessed the records, conducted an unauthorized search under the search name “Michael Cohen”, and unlawfully passed the results to the porn star’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti.

WASHINGTON – The Treasury Department’s inspector general is investigating whether confidential banking information related to a company controlled by President Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen may have been leaked, a spokesman said.

Rich Delmar, counsel to the inspector general, said that in response to media reports the office is “inquiring into allegations” that Suspicious Activity Reports on Cohen’s banking transactions were “improperly disseminated.”

Detailed claims about Cohen’s banking history were made public Tuesday by Michael Avenatti, an attorney for Stormy Daniels, the adult-film star who was paid $130,000 by Cohen shortly before the 2016 election to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump.

On Twitter, Avenatti circulated a dossier that purports to show that Cohen was hired last year by the U.S.-based affiliate of a Russian company owned by Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian business magnate who attended Trump’s inauguration and was recently subjected to sanctions by the U.S. government. The affiliate, New York investment firm Columbus Nova, confirmed the payment, saying it was for consulting on investments and other matters, but denied any involvement by Vekselberg. (read more)

As most people are now aware there are employees and contractors within the U.S. government now weaponizing their access to personal records in an effort to attack their political opposition. This should not be a surprise….

President Obama unlocked the door to weaponizing government against ordinary citizens when his Attorney General Eric Holder and the Treasury Department, via the IRS, gathered lists of U.S. persons who donated to Tea Party groups.

Ms. Lois Lerner, an IRS Administrator with access to IRS records of groups who filed under 501c(3)(4), passed to the DOJ over 1 million names from the “Schedule B” filings of those groups. The filings were contained in 21 CD-ROM’s the IRS gave to AG Eric Holder to generate the admitted “secret research project”.

The Obama approach of using government databases to research political opposition never stopped. A similar outcome was later evidenced in the FISA-702(16)(17) admissions by the FBI and Department of Justice – National Security Division in 2016:

Agents, employees, private contractors, and entities within government agencies with political motives and agendas, how have the ability to weaponize information against people they consider their political opposition.

This was always the danger of allowing corrupt left-wing ideologues to have the ability to control the mechanics of government. This is part of Obama’s “fundamental change” that people allowed in 2009 through 2017.

After eight years of access and promotion of the processes, there are now thousands of like-minded political ideologues within government that will abuse their access to data in an effort to assist their allies. Leaking information has evolved into specific targeting as the process has become more refined and frequent.

The discovered conversations between Lisa Page (DOJ), Peter Strzok (FBI), and communications director Michael Kortan (FBI) leaking information to their allies in the media is simply an extension of this continued approach. The connective tissue between the media who receive information and the political legal groups who use the information is becoming less and less opaque each day.

We see this in the relationship between the Clinton-DNC, Fusion-GPS, the intelligence apparatus and the media. They were/are working in common cause.

Corrupt government officials; corrupt intelligence officials; corrupt media officials; corrupt legal officials; and corrupt political officials, all connected as part of one larger apparatus with one ideological and political intent.

The use of the weaponized information by a porn star’s lawyer is a corrupt continuance, nothing more.

Avenatti has been recruited by the Deep State to be Mueller’s new Front Man. It’s all diversion….in the meantime….Hawaii’s Big Island is splitting in two and North Korea will be brought to heel….the Networks offer crickets… it’s all about Stormy and the $hitbag lawyer…

Spending his early boyhood in Colorado and Utah, Avenatti moved with his family to Chesterfield, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, in 1982, where he went to Parkway Central High School.
Avenatti earned a B.A. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a major in political science in 1996. In 1999, he earned a J.D. degree from George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C., where he worked with Professor Jonathan Turley on constitutional issues relating to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

He graduated Order of the Coif and first in his class. In 2003, George Washington University Law School established the Michael J. Avenatti Award for Excellence in Pre-Trial and Trial Advocacy, an annual award given to the member of the graduating Juris Doctor class who demonstrates excellence in pre-trial and trial advocacy. Avenatti also received George Washington University’s prestigious Alumni Recognition Award in 2010.

While in college and later in law school, Avenatti worked at a political opposition and media firm, The Research Group, run by Rahm Emanuel (later White House Chief of Staff for President Barack Obama, and mayor of Chicago). Avenatti worked on over 150 campaigns in 42 states, including multiple gubernatorial and congressional campaigns and Joe Biden’s U.S. Senate campaign.

Avenatti is a con. He jilted at least 4 law and/or business partners, a law employee and hundreds of Tully employees of their money and salaries. Probably spent it buying awards and honors in his name.

This is unbelievable. You should see all the events these 2 sleazebags are at togther. What is going on here? And Turley dragging his pretend unbias azz on every network about this.. I smell lots of rats!!

If the Swamp can’t get at POTUS Trump for obstruction of justice in the Russian witch hunt they will attempt to frame him with it in the Stormy Daniels case. They are trying to generate facts to fit a crime

Wasn’t there some connection between Johnathon Turley and Avenatti? I think they worked together..This is not to condemn Turley, as he seems to be balanced in his legal assessments, etc… Maybe read in Wiki?

Yes it’s about financial self-interest. Yes, there will be more illegal leaks out of the DC bureaucracy. Of the 91% who supported Cankles you can imagine there will be many who will take such risks if they think it’ll get rid of the threat to their place at the trough. This is going to be a long fight.

I think most of the people who have government positions in DC don’t actually live in DC but live in neighboring areas in Maryland and Virgnia, and that’s where those people would be voting. DC is 49% black and has a median income of only $75,000 despite all of the uber wealthy people who have offices there. So that 91% is probably mostly comprised of your typical urban core Dem plantation.

Do not know. But I will tell you that his publicizing the information contained in a SAR can lead to charges directly against him. He might try for 1st amendment issues, but the BSA laws are similar in the is regard to the national security laws. He is not a reporter, but a lawyer (an officer of the court) and that makes it harder for him to defend his actions.

1) It would be pretty easy to screw someone over using the FINCEN system.

2) This system is in essence how a police state operates. It essentially out sources the investigative aspects of law enforcement to mere citizens. In addition, mere citizens associated with a financial institution (stock brokers for instance) can basically cause the initiation a financial investigation of anyone.

Mueller’s lawyer Dreeben said to Judge Ellis that the Mueller Team has full powers of the Treasury. They are using contractor access to do things like get Manafort. The leak likely comes from Mueller Team access.

But what would make them look at Cohen? Isn’t it just as likely that some very “patriotic” Democrat in Treasury slipped this stuff to Mueller some time ago? Now either they slipped it to Avenatti, or SDNY did, or Mueller’s team did.

What I’m wondering is whether SDNY raided Cohen based on “probable cause” that Mueller sent them, but without telling them that Mueller got it by nefarious means. Everything SDNY has on Cohen could be fruit of the poisonous tree if Mueller came by the original tip via an illegal act by some Treasury puke.

What made them look at Cohen? They most probably lokked at everyone even remotely linked to Trump, his family, his enterprises et al. and used FISA Title #1 to unmask and wiretapp them. Wouldn’t be surprised if they even wiretap Goodlatte, Nunes, Gowdy and every other Senator or Kongress man who ever spoke with Trump – that’s how they know every word. Remember what the dying high jugde had said: he believed he was being wiretapped.

This will resonante with average person—- who hasn’t had at least one instance of financial screwups by IRS or bank accounting. Elitism at its finest. “We screw with your life, and there is nothing you can do about it”

OMG, I had the same scenario run through my mind, but thought it might be too far fetched…did not know about this possible cult connection.

I have said in many comments that so much of this entire public information/news/image feels choreographed and scripted. I have also stated that sometimes it is wise to use your opponents own weapons turned against them…meaning much of the theater is coming from our side.

Some may call this 4D Chess playing…but I believe tactics similar to this have been in use for centuries.

I am not a conspiracy theorist but there seems to be quite a few dots that connect some nefarious characters and while only rumors right now, nothing would surprise me anymore.
Questions:
-What is Eric Schneiderman’s connection to NXIVM? Is it true that the S&M sex cult leader Kieth Raniere was a major donor to Schnneiderman and Hillary? How much did he give or bundle?
-Is there a connection between Michael Avanatti and Eric Schneiderman and/or Kieth Raniere?
-Is Stormy Daniels a former (or present) member of NXIVM?

It was because they both did stuff like this: Illegally, unethically, and immorally abusing the apparatus of the state to deny law-abiding American citizens of their rights, to attack their political enemies and suppress opposition. These actions of official oppression are as pernicious as anything that ever happened under Jim Crow, and are unprecedented in modern America. Banana republic abominations.

Their bad ideas and destructive policies at home and abroad are minor concerns in comparison with the violence they did to our American republic in “opening Pandora’s box”.

SO when is this clown Criminal Avenatti going to be prosecuted for violating the various Mr. Cohen’s privacy Information? We do have laws about Privacy Data. The original law was passed in 1974 and it has been amended several times since. It is called the ‘Privacy Act’.

Privacy Act of 1974. The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, establishes a code of fair information practices that governs the collection, maintenance, use, and dissemination of information about individuals that is maintained in systems of records by federal agencies.

I wrote the DOJ Jeff Sessions and the IG Horowitz about this. Using stolen government documents has become standard operating procedure and very closely resembles the process used during the Obama admin.

The small group is a small group within a larger group which is still intact. which holds and coordinates the stolen information and ready-made scandals and schemes. This is run like a cartel and the only way to catch them all is to use RICO. They have media on their payroll, just like the mafia…… I would say that Time Warner, AT&T, CNN are one part of the apparatus. Then there is Jeff Bezos who owns the Washington Post and also houses CIA info.

Title: Stormy Daniels’ lawyer once bought a coffee chain for $9 million with a famous Hollywood actor — and all the shops mysteriously closed earlier this year amid dozens of lawsuits

NEW FACTS

1. “…According to Dempsey [former partner], Avenatti didn’t actually have the funds to buy Tully’s. In the suit, Dempsey claims his business adviser found out through an internet search that Avenatti had borrowed $2 million with an “exorbitant” interest rate of 15% to fund the deal, sparking Dempsey’s decision to sue his way out of the partnership.”

” ‘Avenatti concealed the Loan and the Security Agreement from Dempsey,” the complaint says.”

“It continues: ‘He provided no advance notice that he was going to cause Global Baristas to borrow two million dollars, pay an exorbitant interest rate, and secure repayment in borrowed funds by pledging all or substantially all of the company’s assets and future income.”

2. Over 20 State tax Liens

“Global Baristas failed to pay $4,998,198 in federal taxes last year, according to a tax lien filed by the IRS in August. That is in addition to thousands of dollars in state taxes the company failed to pay over the years, according to more than 20 state tax liens filed in California and Washington. Most recently, in early April, Washington state issued a warrant claiming Global Baristas owed more than $721,000 in state taxes.”

3. Avenatti still the owner?

“Avenatti is still listed as Global Baristas’ sole “governing person” in Washington State business filings. Avenatti said he sold his stake in Tully’s before the chain’s downward spiral over the past year, telling The Washington Post in late March he made a profit by selling his piece of the firm at an undefined time. Now, he says he essentially acts as the company’s general counsel.”

Porn star Stormy Daniels’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, has covered television screens across America, and because of it, he claims his exposure is why he was able to get his hands on the bank records of President Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, as well as the bank records of several other Michael Cohens, none of whom have anything at all to do with President Trump.
Possession of such stolen property is well worth throwing him in jail all by itself, and even the experts quoted in the leftwing Daily Beast say he’s got a problem with that one.
But he’s actually got a longtime record of sleaze and shadiness and if an investigative report, which ran in the Seattle Times a month ago is correct, he looks like the sort of guy who absolutely belongs in jail. He did despicable things in his business practices that anyone can see is illegal.

So it is time to ‘shine the light’ on Michael Avenatti, i need to see all the slime runnin down his backside 😛
